Docs audit: 15 stale figures left behind by two fixes, including a wrong numerator

Checked the docs for claims this session retracted. Found more than the first pass.

    1,163 -> 1,162   9 in the format spec, 3 in the roadmap, 5 test doc-comments
    5,878 -> 5,822   2 in the spec, 3 in test doc-comments
    234 -> 233       1 in the spec, 1 test doc-comment -- level 0's contribution

The last one is the one a blanket search would have missed. "5,878 records, and
level 0 contributes 234" was stale in both numbers, and only one of them was in
the string I was looking for. Verified against the tests rather than against the
other stale prose:

    lvl.vtbl: 1162 distinct class ids from 5822 records; max 0x13ba (5050);
    moby_classes.count is 238, and 1135 of 1162 ids (97.7%) are at or above it
    vtbl oClass: 1162 ids, largest 5050; ... 1133/1162 ... level 0 alone
    contributes 233

The reason all of it survived is the same shape as the bug it belongs to. The
tests were fixed and the new numbers asserted, and the prose was not touched -- and
the prose is what a reader takes away. A commit that corrects a measurement without
correcting the document it was measured in has only half-landed. Two corrections in
this session, 15 places.

Also left alone deliberately: the explanatory sections in core-data-regions.md that
discuss 5,878 and 1,163 as the *wrong* figures, and the test comments that record
what the loop used to print. Those are correct as written -- removing them would
erase the reasoning. A final sweep confirms nothing stale remains outside those.

293 passing with the disc and savestate present, clippy clean. Documentation and
comments only; no behaviour changed.
